INVENTORY !!!!!!!

Coins | Mike

Hi everyone hope all is well. I believe one of most important thing in collecting is doing inventory. Whatever you do don't do what I did. I waited to long. Now there is soft where for this. I hope those that use it will list it below and the benefits of what they have.          Now I have been collecting 30 years. All my coins are protected that's another thing you should do. My coins are in metal boxes with foam that holds slabs. Now after thirty years I know were most of my coins are. Some I find I don't remember that I had it.            I started doing my inventory a few months ago. I'm old fashion I bought an accounting book and it works out great. Everything about the coin goes in one line across.  Even how much I paid for it. That's important. Would you believe I still have about three or four months to go? That's because I waited to long.           Start with your first coins. Do not wait. Eagles with eagles Franklin's with Franklin's. I even have the amount of silver in ever  coin  I then add it up on the bottom of the page. This is not fun. However its easy to use. I have a picture of every coin in my registry . So that's taken care of. Putting coins in date order takes time.            You don't have to go thru what I'm going thru. Start now. Don't wait. I mean I enjoy it because I like looking at my coins. Soon I will know where every cent is .I open the book to the table of contents. Cents are on page one. Slabs start on page five. So you see it does pay off. The only thing is finding time to do this. I have to make time be wise I didn't do it when I should of.         Even my books are in order . I'm at the point were I can open the book and go to any slab any date and grade. Yes I should of started years ago. But when I'm done I will make a copy of every page and keep that in the safe . I hope your getting the idea of how important this is. If you want to sell your collection and the buyer comes over and says do you have the 2013 reverse proof set. Open your book and right away you say yes or no.           Sets I have in  another section. Year grade what TPG how much I paid and the  cert numbers. Not in that order. Everything on the label goes in the book. And I check every cert number twice. That's important.           So you have an idea what has to be done. Either with soft where or by paper and pen. Its not easy. That's why I suggested you start from the time you start collecting. It will save you the time and energy later when your done or go to sell your collection. So if you haven't started I suggest you start. It will make life easy for all. Thanks for taking a look I hope you start today!

One will be a reverse proof set  then there will be an uncirculated Peace dollar and Morgan Dollar.          Add to that a Proof Morgan and a Proof Peace dollar. They will be released next year. The good news you can order them today. Go to the mint site. Down to the bottom of the page. Click on Coin Programs. Click on Morgan and Peace dollars. They will come up. Have your card ready.  By the way you can cancel any coin you don't want if you change your mind! Just bring up my enrollments          .Click on the ones you want. They will go into your bag and then chekout. You have just joined the enrollment program. Next year when they are released your card will be billed and they will be mailed to you. Now the mint has not announced this.  No trying to get one its already yours.           No prices have been posted and no mintage have been posted not even the date when they will be released. I believe the reverse proof set will sell for 175.00. The others around the price of last years. I do not know the price of the proof. So if you want one I would order now. You won't be kicked of ten times and get shut out.  Its the best way to buy these.        ..No sellout in one minute. Just you getting what you ordered and you have done everything that has to be done. So. Follow the instructions and if you want one now is the time because when its announced they will go in a minute. I wish all of you luck. Be safe and stay well. Mike.
